i mean... that's equivalent to saying "go eat lunch on the soccer field." there is nothing wrong with that. it's not as fulfilling, but really, not offensive.
If there was a runner on base, that is a balk for the catcher being out of the catcher's box. As the catcher is required to be in the catcher's box when the ball leaves the pitcher's hand (except on intentional base on balls), I don't see how this is a legal pitch and as such should have been called a ball when no one is on. The catcher's box is a stupid rule, though.
I think he was allowed when Garcia was told no but I thought he did this earlier on in the season and MLB told him to knock it off. *edit he did this but did a pump fake. Mlb said no to the pump fake but everything else is fine.
jesus christ on a motorbike. just make him a permanent DH. no point of all that running in the outfield.
Angels know bad contracts. Mike Trout, 12 years, $426M. Averages 66 games per season in the last 4 Anthony Rendon - 7 yr, $245M. Averages 45 games per season in the last 4, and has been crap when he's played Albert Pujols - 10 yr, $254M. Only averaged 1.3 WAR per season during his contract with them Josh Hamilton - 5 yr, $125M. Flamed out then traded for cash before his contract end
